Episode Name Origins

Most of the dub episode names are jokes, puns and plays on sayings and clichés,
so this page is my effort to compile their origins. If you know some that I
didn't include, please tell me by emailing [ja at ryux dot net] or PMing me
on the forums. Thanks to rikacreator for a heap of contributions to this page,
and to Matt_Ishida for his bunch, and Silverdash. And to my brother for his
rather dubious ideas....
